Grandma, Betty started Elite Repeat in 1969 in the Chicago suburbs as a consignment business. For over 50 years, she ran her shop with no website, no social media – just word of mouth, a gift for connection, and an eye for craftsmanship and quality in vintage pieces. All these years later, the regulars who came in with their moms are now coming in with their daughters. Our guest today, Margy, grew up with a front row seat to all of it — doing her homework on a vintage sofa in the consignment room, watching her grandmother and learning early that the real business wasn't the clothes. It was the relationships. On today's show, she'll share how she found her way back to Elite Repeat, as the pull of the business became impossible to ignore. In 2024, she sat down with her grandmother, who is now 92, and made it official. Since then, she's built Elite Repeat's first ever website, grown their audience on TikTok and Instagram, and attracted consignors flying in from the East Coast after finding Elite Repeat through her videos. Margy shares the story of how Betty built Elite Repeat from a single gown to a destination for St. John knits and vintage furs, and – speaking of – we'll get into the craft of vintage fur: how to choose it, how to care for it, and why Margy thinks the renewed interest comes with a real responsibility. And we talk about what it means to carry forward something your grandmother built, brick by brick, for nearly six decades.
